Noninvasively Measuring Blood Flow Using MRI and Quantitative Software

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 27 Oct 2008
An advanced technology quantitatively and noninvasively to measure blood flow using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will now be available to vascular patients in Europe. More...


Developer and manufacturer of the device, called NOVA, VasSol, Inc. (Chicago, IL, USA), announced their partnership with Italian distributor Tekmed Instruments. Starting in October 2008, Tekmed Instruments (Milan, Italy) will offer NOVA (noninvasive optimal vessel analysis) quantitative MR angiography (QMRA) software for licensing throughout Italy. Tekmed has served as an exclusive distributor in the medical sector for 30 years.

The system is already available throughout the United States. NOVA, an innovative vessel flow-analysis software, works with any high-field MRI scanner. Unlike other imaging methods, NOVA QMRA does not require the injection of a contrast solution or exposure of the patient to radiation. Highly accurate and effective, NOVA provides clinicians with the objective data necessary to recommend management. The software is available for the cerebrovascular, renal, and peripheral vascular applications.

The revolutionary NOVA quantitative MRA technology is a joint effort of vascular experts and leaders in advanced computer modeling. NOVA is the culmination of 11 years of research and clinical study conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago (USA).
